In which I make an educated guess about the Altman and Ive gadget in this, the spaghetti era of AI hardware. https://t.co/ETiCtddTnU

My second hands on with Android XR. This is the first one where we were allowed to take video and photo… and thus it’s a safer look than the one I saw in December. They’re risky demos ok? https://t.co/hNPomN7duz

I got a bone to pick with the Huawei Watch 5... THIS IS NOT VERY PURPLE. https://t.co/jd1TTqwudC https://t.co/8iPd9nJH6T

Saw the new Garmins today. The new features aren't paywalled! But 2 new running features for the $750 Forerunner 970 require the new $170 HRM 600 chest strap... *New colors are snazzy. *Prices are lol *Dunno that we need a $550 Forerunner 570 https://t.co/WntWD3xXSH

*Gemini not limited to Wear OS 6 — if ur watch has Assistant now, it’ll get Gemini. *Gemini needs internet; no offline just yet *up to 10% battery improvement but most notable w/ media controls *Wear OS 6’s redesign doubles down on circular faces https://t.co/4IPVA91KSX

Spent some time scrolling through Meta AI's social feed. It's what you'd get if you mashed up Pinterest, the annoying bits of the Threads algo, and general confusion over what to use generative AI for. https://t.co/1Uxdeq0WiZ

If you’ve ever loved Polygon’s work, here’s a tangible way you can help the staff affected by yesterday’s layoffs. Solidarity forever. https://t.co/J3SqNF2Vkn

NEW from me: I sat down with Marina Anderson, the CEO behind the RAW Ring, a conceptual wearable with an eerie twist to “putting a ring on it.” Some would call it emotional surveillance.

The Verge @verge

Would you wear a smart ring that proves you’re not a cheater? https://t.co/gjiYO7hUlM

Hello Moto. Lotta deja vu with the Moto Watch Fit and the Moto Buds Loop. TL;DR — it's an Android-only Apple Watch clone, a Bose Ultra Open clone with Swarovski bling, and LOL PRICING?, probably because of tariffs though Motorola declined to confirm. https://t.co/i72dGw4QQH

I talked to a bunch of supply chain experts about Trump's tariffs & gadget prices. Bad news: $$$$$$ Less bad news: This won't happen right away due to existing inventory. AKA now is the rare time where it doesn't pay to wait to replace aging tech https://t.co/SGrbyoGyuE

Also Garmin announced Connect Plus — a premium tier to its app that adds AI and a few other features. Existing features & data will remain free, but curious to hear from Garmin loyalists how they feel about this. https://t.co/rNKy0wTBH5

Never say trash television can't inspire a gadget review. After seeing this chip in action on the S3 reunion ep of The Ultimatum... I had to give it a whirl. https://t.co/A4l4UV5SqN

RT @edzitron: Here's the latest ep of my @iHeartRadio/@CoolZoneMedia show Better Offline. I'm joined by @CherlynnLow @alexhcranz and @vicms…

Lil scoop from me: Six to Start, maker of Zombies, Run! and Marvel Move, has laid off all but two of its staff. Parent company Olive X is actively looking for a buyer. Unclear what happens to paying subscribers right now. https://t.co/7bucqE4VDe

I reviewed this $50 AI wearable and all I got was this bizarre fanfiction of my life. Some takeaways: *Kendrick Lamar lyrics are too powerful for AI *Death, sex, and bowel movements should be verboten. Life is hard enough without AI roasting you. https://t.co/V6N2YyWCU7

RT @acedtect: Big thanks to @vicmsong for chatting with us about the silly but wonderful Casio Watch Ring in todays DTNS https://t.co/i19Vn…
